A. Business Report

I. Economic scenario

Global Economy:

The global economy accelerated in the final quarter of 2016 due to a combination of improved conditions in emerging market countries and stronger growth in developed economies. It expanded 2.7% year-on-year in Q4, above the 2.5% rise in Q3 and the strongest point in the full year. Q4’s strong reading brought total growth for 2016 to 2.6%, a notch above the 2.5% previously forecast but well below 2015’s 3.0%. Despite the deceleration in 2016, the global economy managed to navigate its way through troubled waters and perform at a still decent rate. Challenging weather conditions, led by a severe El Niño weather effect, seriously damaged the agricultural sector in some countries, particularly in emerging markets.

Economic dynamics among developing economies are improving gradually following some quarters of sluggish growth. The increase in commodity prices that started in the final quarter of 2016 is good news for the majority of emerging market nations.

Nevertheless, the biggest risk to the global outlook is a rise in protectionism, which could put an end to the era of multinational trade agreements that has defined global economics in recent decades. In this regard, on 23 January 2017, President Trump decided to pull the United States out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a massive trade deal that included around 40% of the world’s GDP and was a pivotal element of the US strategy to provide a counterweight to China’s rising role. All eyes are now on the measures he could announce against China, which enjoys a healthy trade surplus with the U.S. Any significant trade barrier against China could lead to a trade war between the world’s two largest economies, which could have a potential of massively straining the world economy.

Local Economy:Economic growth is showing signs of sustained recovery aided by falling commodity and fuel prices, increased energy availability and improved security conditions. Preliminary data for FY2016 shows industrial growth accelerating on the back of higher activity in large-scale manufacturing and construction, the latter being driven primarily by initiation of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) infrastructure and energy projects.

The improved industrial performance is expected to compensate, to some extent, the weather setbacks observed in the agriculture sector. Moreover, services sector is expected to also grow led by the financial sector, substantial automobile retail sales, increased port activity, and higher telecom profits.

Despite some gains, Pakistan’s low human development indicators undermine its labor force productivity and economic growth. Access to education remains low and completion rate for primary education is among the lowest in the world.

Pakistan’s economy during FY2016 recorded a growth of 4.71 percent which is the highest growth achieved since 2008-09. This fell short of the targeted growth rate of 5.5 percent due to lower growth of agriculture sector (0.19) percent mainly due to decrease in production of cotton, rice and maize. However, Industrial sector recorded growth of 6.80 percent and Services sector accelerated at the rate of 5.71 percent.

Despite global recession in equity market owing to outflow of foreign equity investment, PSX has witnessed a significant overall steady rise in the stock market indices resulting in PSX 100 index reaching 47,806 level on 30 December 2016 registering a gain of 45.7% percent compared to only 2% in 2015. This impressive performance was due to (i) upgrade of Pakistani stock market from Frontier to Emerging Market, (ii) high local liquidity, (iii) growing economy, (iv) progress on CPEC projects and (v) S&P upgrading Pakistan’s rating to “B” giving it a “Stable” outlook. PSX remained the top performing stock market amongst both MSCI Frontier and MSCI Emerging peers. Even continuous foreign selling

worth USD 339 million during the year could not dampen market enthusiasm.

II. Business Overview The Company continued with its key portfolio investments in Engro Corporation and HUBCO. Fertilizers, Food, Chemicals, and Energy were the key areas of business interest for the year.

Fertilizers: During the period, urea prices remained subdued due to a slump in the global commodity market, however in August 2016 prices increased by 34% against same period last year to US$ 240/- per ton, raising the price of urea to PKR 1,560/- per bag.

ECC has approved the allocation of 26 MMSCFD of gas to Engro Fertilizer (EFert), which is sufficient for its two plant operation. During the year, the EFert plant had its planned turnaround and hence produced 1,881 KT of urea as compared to 1,968 KT in 2015. Sales volume was 12% lower over the last year due to oversupply in the market of product carried over from 2015. Engro Fertilizer lost market share by 4% over last year to end at 30%.

Engro Fertilizer posted a consolidated revenue of PKR 77,415 million which was 12% lower than previous year. Accordingly, the profit after tax (PAT) of PKR 9,283 million registered a 37% decline over last year. This decline was attributable mainly to low off take and multiple price cuts, which was partly offset by lower renegotiated finance rates on long term and short term finances.

For the financial year 2016, EFert recommended a cash dividend of PKR 2.5/- per share in addition to interim cash dividend of Rs. 4.5 per share already paid for the approval of its shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Foods As a part of its portfolio diversification and capital allocation strategy, Engro Corp took a number of initiatives to rebalance its investments across its defined growth pillars. One such initiative was to divest its majority investment in Engro

Foods(EFoods). In December 2016, ECorp sold 361 million shares of Engro Foods to Friesland Campina Pakistan Holding B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Friesland Campina M.V. (RFC), at a price of PKR 120.15 per share. Engro Corp is now the second largest shareholder of Engro Foods, with a significant ownership of 40%. This deal was also the single largest contributor to the foreign exchange reserves of the country in 2016.

EFoods had a very challenging year amidst intense competition and new entrants resulting in temporary shifts in consumer preferences. The Government opted to tax the dairy sector further by imposing regulatory duty on imported dairy powder and re-categorizing dairy products.

Resultantly, EFoods posted consolidated revenues of PKR 44,300 million - a decline of 11% over last year. Engro Foods reported a net profit of PKR 2,387 million as compared to PKR 3,162 million, a decline of 24.5%.

For the financial year 2016, Engro Foods recommended a cash dividend of PKR 10/- per share for the approval of its shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Energy and Energy Infrastructure:Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited (EPQL) demonstrated a billable availability factor of 100.3% as compared to 99.7% for the similar period last year. However, an auto power transformer failure at the power purchaser end meant a lower dispatch of 1,265 GWh at a load factor of 67.2% as compared to 76.7% last year. EPQL posted a revenue of PKR 11,452 million registering a decrease of 14.2% over last year, with net profit at PKR 1,788 million - marginally lower by PKR 10 million.

The wind power plant Tenaga Generasi Limited (TGL) was commissioned on 11th October 2016 and dispatched total energy of 18 GWh till the end of

Annual Report 2016 57

the year. Total revenue for the period was reported at PKR 292.31 million.

Sindh Engro Coal Mining Project (SECMC) completed all condition precedents under the financing agreements and achieved financial close on 4 April, 2016. EPC contractors have mobilized on site and overburden removal started in May 2016. Drilling of 27 wells has been completed which enabled SECMC to commence dewatering of aquifers in the first quarter 2017. Gorano reservoir is substantially complete and is ready to receive water.

The HUB Power Company Limited (HUBCO) has established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Thar Energy Limited (TEL) as an SPV for a 1x330 megawatt (MW) Thar Lignite Coal-based mine mouth Power Plant in the Energy Park associated with Block II, Thar coalfields in Sindh. TEL tariff application was approved by NEPRA in October and PPIB issued Letter of Support (LOS) in December. TEL has also signed the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract in December. Subsequent to the period end, the IA and PPA of TEL have been initialled on January 25, 2017.

HUBCO has completed demerger of its Narowal Plant and said plant along with its all assets and liabilities are in the process of being vested in Narowal Energy Limited (NEL). NEL is a wholly owned subsidiary company of HUBCO.

HUBCO for the half year ended 31 December 2016 dispatched consolidated energy worth PKR 48,227 million as compared to PKR 50,281 million for the similar period last year. The decrease mainly relates to the major overhaul of one unit at Hub plant and maintenance of five engines of Narowal Plant. Consolidated net profit was PKR 5,069 million as against PKR 5,308 million in 2015. Consolidated EPS was PKR 4.38 as against 4.59 for the similar period last year.

Polymer and ChemicalsDuring 2016, Engro Polymers and Chemicals Limited (EPCL) demonstrated improved performance and increased productivity whereby PVC production 172 KT, VCM at 174KT and caustic soda at 103 KT which was the highest ever production for EPQL. EPQL posted a PAT of PKR 660 million as compared to a loss of PKR 644 million over last year.

B. Financial ReportI. Financial performanceThe consolidated topline of the Group was PKR 157 billion as compared to PKR 182 billion for the similar period last year. The consolidated gross profit of the Group for 2016 at PKR 35.84 billion was lower by PKR 9.38 billion mainly due to subdued performance by EFert and EFoods. During the year the group disposed of 51% shares of EFoods to Friesland Campina and a one off capital gain of PKR 34 billion was recognized. Further a gain of PKR 24 billion was also recognized on re-measurement of investments in EFoods. The share of profit from associated companies and joint ventures at PKR 3 billion was 16% higher over 2015. After accounting for tax charge of PKR 9 billion, the profit after tax of PKR 73 billion was higher by PKR 52.07 billion over 2015.

On standalone basis, revenue of the Company was PKR 7,422 million as against PKR 21,932 million for the similar period last year i.e. lower by PKR 14,510 million mainly on account of one-time dividend from ex-subsidiary company (DH Fertilizers Limited). After accounting for all the expenditures the net profit after tax was PKR 5,470 million as against PKR 20,194 million for 2015.

II. Earnings per shareThe unconsolidated earnings per share for the year 2016 was PKR 11.37 per share as compared to PKR 41.96 per share for the year 2015. Consolidated earnings per share for the year were PKR 53.12 (2015: PKR 19.17) per share.

h. Key operating and financial data for the last six years in summarized form are annexed to the report.

XIV. Directors training program

XV. Related party transactionsIn accordance with the requirements of Code of Corporate Governance, the Company presented

all related party transactions before the Audit Committee and the Board for their review and approval, respectively.

XVI. Future outlookGeneralThe investments of the group in the energy sector make it the largest partner for the Chinese under the CPEC program with interests in both coal mining and energy. In line with our ambition to solve problems of national importance, the next two years will be the time when most of these energy assets come online, propelling Pakistan towards energy sufficiency. We will continue to look at emerging energy technologies, especially in the renewable sector, where emphasis on fossil fuels can be reduced in the coming years. We expect impact of CPEC in other areas of the economy and foresee other foreign investments following suit.

Our partnership with Royal Friesland Campina is expected to usher in a new wave of products and technologies to drive the dairy and food sector. This is in line with our vision to contribute strongly to the nutrition sector.

The fertilizer business has a key role going forward as Engro Fertilizer looks to promote practices and techniques that enhance productivity and farm yield. It is believed that technology has a key role to play in the area of farm efficiencies that will benefit the average citizen and also improve farmer economics.

Regulatory EnvironmentThe regulatory environment is becoming increasingly complex within the country as Pakistan tries to bring in more corporate transparency. However, we see most of the focus on large corporate players and are concerned that this is impacting growth. Tax on intercorporate dividends, as an example, reduces the incentive for organizations to structure themselves for large scale expansion. Onerous reporting requirements can also discourage international players from investing in Pakistan.

The ever increasing number of young people joining the workforce everyday requires a strong and vibrant corporate sector to absorb them and convert them into contributing citizens. The Government nor the unorganized sector will be able to provide sufficient employment opportunities to millions of aspirants.

60 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

We believe that Government policies must champion the corporate sector because that is the key growth driver in all economies globally. We also believe that the budget and economic plans must embrace the growth paradigm rather than be revenue focused. This will also allow for more international interest in the Pakistan economy as exhibited by the Engro Foods investment by Royal Friesland Campina.

FertilizersEarly prospects for 2016/17 are still mixed, but there are indications that global cereal production will be stable or marginally higher. Despite low prices, the coarse grains output is expected to rise due to favorable weather or higher relative returns compared to competing crops. The outlook for 2017 is more optimistic in view of slightly improving market conditions, more favorable weather, and a better political and economic situation in some sizable markets. Global fertilizer demand in 2016/17 is seen as rebounding by 2.9% to 186 Mt, with growth rates of relatively similar magnitude for all three nutrients: 3.0% for N, to 111 Mt; 3.0% for P, to 42 Mt; and 2.3% for K, to 33 Mt.

Local urea demand is expected to remain stable due to improved farmer income pattern, subsidies and incentives offered by the government. EFert allocation of 26 MMSCFD of gas will contribute to its profitability.

FoodPost-acquisition by RFC, EFoods will benefit from their experience, research background, and innovation and is expected to deliver superior quality products to the consumers. While the imposition of regulatory duty and exempt category of dairy products has increased the cost of production, EFoods has absorbed most of this increase and passed very small amounts to its consumers. Efforts are required at the government level by all stake holders to rationalize the duty and taxes to have a level playing field for the stakeholders.

Energy and energy infrastructureThe LNG business is playing its positive role in augmenting the energy shortage being faced by the

country. EEPTL expects to be able to utilize its spare capacity of 200 MMSCFD and the management expect stable outlook for the coming years.

For HUBCO, government has confirmed 1,320 MW capacity for joint venture company China Power Hub Generation Company (CPHGC) based on imported coal being set up at Hub site. PPIB has extended the required financial close date by five months required under the Letter of Support. The power plant and jetty EPC Contractors have mobilized to ensure early completion of the Project.

HUBCO has 8% stake in Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company, which is progressing satisfactorily since its financial close of April 2016.

C. AcknowledgementThe Board expresses its gratitude to all the shareholders for their confidence and support. We would like to thank all stakeholders, including but not limited to financial institutions, who have been associated with us for their support and cooperation and assure them of our commitment to look after their respective interests.

We would like to thank the management and employees for their sincere contributions toward the growth and prosperity of the Company.

FARMER CONNECT PROJECTFarmer Connect Project which is externally known as Rahbar, is the biggest CSR initiative in the history of Engro Fertilizers. Around 500,000 small to medium farmers in the wheat-rice growing areas will benefit from the project.

The farmers in these areas face numerous challenges of which the biggest are: lack of knowledge on input applications, out dated farming techniques and little access to new technology. This project aims to address these issues through knowledge based interventions at every crop stage by the use of ICT based knowledge dissemination, soil testing for optimum input applications, farmer field schools, and community mobilization.

The project also places a special emphasis on capacity building of women, who are directly involved in farm activities such as grain handling, seed cleaning and grazing.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited (the Company) was incorporated in Pakistan on April 17, 1968 as a public limited company under the Companies Act 1913 (now Companies Ordinance, 1984) (the Ordinance) and its shares are quoted on Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited. The principal activity of the Company is to manage investments in its subsidiary and associated companies. The registered office of the Company is situated at Dawood Center, M.T. Khan Road, Karachi.

1.2 During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into re-negotiation with Pakarab Fertilizers Limited (PAFL) for the disposal of entire shareholding in its wholly owned subsidiary DH Fertilizers Limited (DHFL) and Bubber Sher (Private) Limited (BSPL) and signed a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with PAFL. Accordingly, the shares of DHFL and BSPL were transferred in the name of Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited (assignee of PAFL as per the terms of the SPA).

1.3 During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had reassessed the control conclusion of its investment in Engro Corporation Limited (ECL) as a result of adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) - 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, by Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), that although, the Company has less than 50% voting rights in ECL, however, based on the absolute size of the Company’s shareholdings, the relative size of other shareholdings and the number of representation on ECL’s Board, the Company has the ability to exercise control over ECL as per the terms of IFRS 10. Henceforth, the Company is deemed to be Holding Company of ECL.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of preparation and statement of compliance

2.1.1 These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by remeasurement of certain staff retirement and other service benefits at present value.

2.1.2 These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (the Ordinance), directives issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and approved financial reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved financial reporting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as are notified under the provisions of the Ordinance. Wherever the requirements of the Ordinance or directives issued by the SECP differ with the requirements of these standards, the requirements of the Ordinance and the said directives have been followed.

2.2 New standards, amendments to approved accounting standards and interpretations

2.2.1 Initial application of standards, amendments or an interpretation to existing standards

a) Standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards that are effective in 2016

Following standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved standards have been published and are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 and are considered to be relevant to the Company’s operations.

Annual Report 2016 79

For the year ended December 31, 2016

noteS to and forming Part of the financial StatementS

IAS 34 ’Interim financial reporting’.

This amendment clarifies what is meant by the reference in the standard to ‘information disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report’. The amendment also amends IAS 34 to require a cross-reference from the interim financial statements to the location of that information. The amendment is retrospective. This amendment will have any significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IAS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’

These amendments clarify guidance in IAS 1 on materiality and aggregation, the presentation of subtotals, the structure of financial statements and disclosures of accounting policies. The amendments form a part of the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative, which explores how financial statement disclosures can be improved. The amendment only affects disclosures in the Company’s financial statements.

IAS 19, ‘Employee benefits’

The amendment clarifies that, when determining the discount rate for post-employment benefit obligations, it is the currency that the liabilities are denominated in that is important, not the country where they arise. The assessment of whether there is a deep market in high-quality corporate bonds is based on corporate bonds in that currency, not corporate bonds in a particular country. Similarly, where there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bonds in the relevant currency should be used. The amendment is retrospective but limited to the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company’s accounting treatment is already in line with this amendment.

IAS 27, ‘Separate financial statements’

This amendment restores the option to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in an entity’s separate financial statements.

An entity can account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in its separate financial statements:

- at cost; or - in accordance with IFRS 9; or - using the equity method as described in IAS 28.

The other new standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2016 are considered not to be relevant or to have any significant effect on the Company’s financial reporting and operations.

b) Standards, interpretations and amendments to published approved accounting standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company

There are certain new standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2017 are considered to be relevant.

IAS 7 ’Cash flow statements’.

This amendment requires disclosure to explain changes in liabilities for which cash flows have been, or will be classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flows. The amendment only covers balance sheet items for which cash flows are classified as financing activities. In case other items are included within the reconciliation, the changes in liabilities arising from financing activities will beidentified separately. A reconciliation of the opening to closing balance is not specifically required

but instead the information can be provided in other ways. In the first year of adoption, comparative information need not be provided. It is unlikely that this standard will have any significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

There are certain other new amendments to published approved accounting standards which will be effective for the Company for accounting period beginning after January 1, 2017 but are considered not to be relevant or to have any significant effect on the Company’s operations and are, not disclosed into these financial statements.

2.3 Property, plant and equipment

These are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any, except land which is stated at cost. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items including borrowing costs.

Assets having cost exceeding the minimum threshold as determined by the management are capitalised. All other costs are charged to profit and loss account in the year in which they are incurred.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account during the financial period in which they are incurred. Major renewals and improvements, if any, are capitalised in accordance with IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and depreciated in a manner that best represents the consumption pattern and useful lives.

Disposal of asset is recognised when significant risk and rewards incidental to ownership have been transferred to buyers. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in ‘Other income / (loss)’ in the profit and loss account.

Depreciation is charged to profit and loss account applying the straight line method so as to write off the historical cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives at the rates stated in note 4 to the financial statements. Depreciation on additions is charged from the following month in which the asset is available for use and on disposals up to the month the asset is no longer in use. Assets’ residual values and useful lives are annually reviewed, and adjusted, if material.

The company reviews appropriateness of the rate of depreciation, useful life and residual value used in the calculation of depreciation.

2.4 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. Cost of the intangible assets includes purchase cost and directly attributable expenses incidental to make the asset available for use in the manner as intended by management.

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is charged over the estimated useful life of the asset on a systematic basis by applying the straight line method.

Costs associated with maintaining computer software are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.

Annual Report 2016 81

Useful life of intangible assets is reviewed, at each reporting date and adjusted if the impact of amortisation is significant.

2.5 Impairment of non financial assets

Assets that are subject to depreciation / amortisation are reviewed at each reporting date to identify circumstances indicating occurrence of impairment loss or reversal of previous impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. Reversal of impairment loss is restricted to the original cost of the asset.

2.6 Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Further, the Company also considers whether:

- it has power over the investee entity;- it has exposure, rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee entity; and- it has ability to use its power over the investee entity to affect the amount of the Company’s

returns.

Investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost less impairment, if any.

2.7 Investments in associates

Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are carried at cost. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associates is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the impairment loss as the difference between the recoverable amount of associates and its carrying value and recognises it in the profit and loss account.

2.8 Other investments

Other investments are carried at cost. At subsequent reporting dates, the recoverable amounts are estimated to determine the extent of impairment losses, if any, and carrying amounts are adjusted accordingly.

2.9 Financial instruments

2.9.1 Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

a) At fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as ‘at fair value through profit or loss’. A financial asset is classified as ‘held for trading’ if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the profit and loss account as part of other income when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

noteS to and forming Part of the financial StatementS

82 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except those having maturities of more than twelve months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables with maturity period of less than twelve months after the reporting date are classified as advances, deposits and prepayments and other receivables in the balance sheet.

c) Available for sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investments within twelve months from the reporting date. Available for sale financial assets are classified as short term investments in the balance sheet. Changes in fair value of securities classified as available for sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised directly in equity are included in the profit and loss account in the period in which the disposal takes place. Dividends on available for sale equity investments are recognised in the profit and loss account when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

d) Held to maturity

Held to maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity with a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

Recognition

All financial assets are recognised at the time when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Regular purchase and sale of investments (if any) are recognised at trade date i.e. the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Measurement

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the profit and loss account in the year of acquisition.Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Impairment

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. If any such evidence exists for ‘available for sale’ financial assets, the cumulative loss is removed from equity and recognised in the profit and loss account.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

noteS to and forming Part of the financial StatementS

Annual Report 2016 83

Impairment losses recognised in the profit and loss account on equity instruments are not reversed through the profit and loss account. In case of loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

2.9.2 Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transactions costs, if any, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method.A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange and modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in respective carrying amounts is recognised in the profit and loss account.

2.9.3 Off-setting of financial assets and financial liabilities

A financial asset and a financial liability is off set and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counter party.

2.10 Cash and cash equivalents

2.11.3 Employee compensated absences

The Company provides for compensated absences for all eligible employees in accordance with the rules of the Company. Accordingly, the provision for compensated absences has been made at actual amounts.

2.12 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

These are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liability.

Exchange gains and losses arising in respect of liabilities in foreign currency are added to the carrying amount of the respective liabilities.

2.13 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect current best estimate.

2.14 Dividend

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which dividend is approved by the shareholders in case of final dividend, and in case of interim dividend on the date of commencement of the book closure period.

2.15 Income tax

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In which case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current

Provision for current taxation is based on the taxable income for the year calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

2.16 Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when:

- there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company; or

- there is a present obligation that arises from past events but it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably.

2.17 Revenue recognition

- Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established i.e. on the date of book closure of the investee company declaring the dividend.

- Returns on bank deposits are accrued on a time proportion basis by reference to the principal outstanding amounts and the applicable rates of return.

- Gains / (losses) arising on disposal of investments are included in income in the year in which they are disposed off.

- Unrealised gains / (losses) arising on revaluation of securities classified as ‘available for sale’ and ‘fair value through profit or loss’ are included in other comprehensive income and in profit and loss account in the period in which they arise respectively. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in the equity through other comprehensive income, are included in the profit and loss account in the period in which disposal takes place.

2.18 Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are recognised or accounted for into Pakistan Rupees using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pakistan Rupees at the rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Exchange gains / losses on foreign currency translations are included in income / equity.

2.19 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements are presented in Pakistan Rupees, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historic experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, the management has made the following estimates and judgments which are significant to the financial statements:

For the year ended December 31, 2016

noteS to and forming Part of the financial StatementS

86 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

3.1 Current and deferred income taxes

In making the estimates for income taxes payable by the Company, management considers current income tax law and the decisions of appellate authorities on certain cases issued in the past. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such final outcome is determined. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

3.2 Provisions

Provisions are based on management’s best estimates. Any change in the estimates in future years might effect the carrying amounts of the provisions with a corresponding affect on the profit and loss account of the Company.

3.3 Property, plant and equipment

Estimates with respect to residual values and useful lives are based on the assessment of the management of the Company considering the estimated usage and the industry practices. Further, the Company reviews the internal and external indicators for possible impairment of assets on an annual basis. Any change in the estimates of residual values and useful lives that might affect the carrying amounts of the respective items of property, plant and equipment (note 4) will have a corresponding effect on the depreciation charge and impairment loss incurred during the year. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3.4 Consolidation of entities in which the Company holds less than half of the voting rights

Management considers that the Company has control over ECL even though it has less than 50% of the voting rights. The pattern of shareholding of ECL shows that the Company is the single largest shareholder having shareholding of 37.22% with remaining widely dispersed shareholding pattern, which enables the Company to exercise control over ECL.

3.5 Impairment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and other entities

In making an estimate of impairment, investments are considered to be impaired if there is a significant or prolonged decline in the recoverable amount and carrying value of investments.

7.1 As stated in note 2.11.1, the Company operates a defined benefit plan i.e. an approved funded gratuity scheme for all of its permanent employees subject to attainment of minimum service of prescribed period. Actuarial valuation of the scheme is carried out every year. However, the latest actuarial valuation was carried out as at June 30, 2016. Nevertheless, the results have been updated for material transactions and material changes in circumstances upto the end of the reporting period.

7.2 The actuarial valuation of gratuity plan was carried out as at June 30, 2016. The projected unit credit method using the following significant assumptions was used for this valuation:

7.14 The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 11 years.

7.15 The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is set forth below:

Discount rate 1% (5,085) (2,091)Salary growth rate 1% (2,116) (5,085)

7.16 The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised within the balance sheet.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

29.1 The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.

The Board of Directors (the Board) has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Company’s risk management framework. The Board is also responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to react to change in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

Risks managed and measured by the Company are explained below:

29.2 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments may fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates or the market prices of instruments due to change in credit rating of the issuers or the instruments, changes in market sentiments, speculative activities, supply and demand of instruments and liquidity in the market. The Company manages the market risk by monitoring exposure on financial instruments and by following internal risk management policies.

Market risk comprises of three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.

29.2.1 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

- Fair value risk - Presently, fair value risk to the Company arises from ‘balances with banks’ which are based on fixed interest rates. As at December 31, 2016, the impact of increase / decrease in fixed interest rates by 100 basis points will not have a material impact on the profit after tax of the Company.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

noteS to and forming Part of the financial StatementS

104 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

For the year ended December 31, 2016

noteS to and forming Part of the financial StatementS

- Future cash flow risk - Presently, future cash flow risk to the Company arises from short term running finance and long term financing which are based on floating interest rates (i.e. KIBOR based). As at December 31, 2016, had there been increase / decrease of 100 basis points in KIBOR, with all other variables held constant, profit before taxation for the year then ended would have been lower / higher by Rs 24.548 million (2015: 26.035 million) mainly as a result of finance cost.

29.2.2 Currency risk

Currency risk arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due to transactions entered into foreign currencies. The Company does not have any significant foreign currency exposures.

29.2.3 Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value of or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. During the year, the Company has disposed off all its financial instruments that were valued at market prices, as a result there was no exposure to price risk as at end of the year.

29.3 Credit risk and its concentration

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counter parties fail completely to perform as contracted.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each of the parties. To manage exposure to credit risk, management reviews credit ratings, total deposits worthiness, and maturities of the investments made, past experience and other factors.

Concentration of credit risk arises when a number of counter parties are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic features that would cause their abilities to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by the changes in economic, political or other conditions.

The credit quality of the Company’s liquidity can be assessed with reference to external credit ratings as follows:

346,097 1,163,978

The Company believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk.

29.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s approach to manage liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial liabilities when due. Accordingly, the Company maintains sufficient cash and also makes availability of funding through credit facilities.

The analysis below summarizes the Company’s financial liabilities (based on contractual undiscounted cash flows) into relevant maturity groups on the remaining period as at the balance sheet date:

106 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

For the year ended December 31, 2016

noteS to and forming Part of the financial StatementS

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as long term borrowings less cash and cash equivalent. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.

The gearing ratio as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

Note 2016 2015-------- (Rupees in ‘000) --------

Total debt 13 3,889,143 3,992,585 Less: Cash and cash equivalent 27 (2,582,644) 576,251 Net debt 6,471,787 3,416,334 Total capital 37,310,643 37,211,589 Gearing Ratio 17.35% 9.18%

29.6 Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is an amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Consequently, differences may arise between the carrying value and the fair value estimates.

The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument.

Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observation inputs, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant un-observable inputs.

The estimated fair value of all financial instruments is considered not significantly different from book value.

3. summary of signifiCant aCCounting PoliCies

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

3.1 Basis of preparation and statement of compliance

3.1.1 These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by remeasurement of biological assets and certain financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments, at fair value, and certain staff retirement and other service benefits at present value.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 125

3.1.2 These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Ordinance, directives issued by the SECP and approved financial reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved financial reporting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as are notified under the provisions of the Ordinance. Wherever the requirements of the Ordinance or directives issued by the SECP differ with the requirements of these standards, the requirements of the Ordinance and the said directives have been followed.

3.1.3 The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the above requirements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving high degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4.

3.1.4 initial application of standards, amendments or an interpretation to existing standards a) Standards,amendmentstopublishedstandardsandinterpretationsthatareeffectivein2016

The following amendments to published standards are mandatory for the financial year beginning

January 1, 2016: - IFRS 5 ‘Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations’.The amendment

clarifies that, when an asset (or disposal group) is reclassified from ‘held for sale’ to ‘held for distribution’, or vice versa, this does not constitute a change to a plan of sale or distribution, and does not have to be accounted for as such. This means that the asset (or disposal group) does not need to be reinstated in the consolidated financial statements as if it had never been classified as ‘held for sale’ or ‘held for distribution’ simply because the manner of disposal has changed. The amendment also rectifies an omission in the standard by explaining that the guidance on changes in a plan of sale should be applied to an asset (or disposal group) which ceases to be held for distribution but is not reclassified as ‘held for sale’. This amendment will not have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

- IFRS 11 ‘Joint arrangements’. This amendment provides specific guidance on accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation (‘JO’) that is a business. The amendment address diversity in practice related to the accounting for these transactions. The Group’s current accounting treatment is already in line with this amendment.

- IAS 1 ‘Presentation of financial statements’ These amendments clarify guidance in IAS 1 on materiality and aggregation, the presentation of subtotals, the structure of financial statements and disclosures of accounting policies. The amendments form a part of the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative, which explores how financial statement disclosures can be improved. This amendment will not have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

- IAS 19 (Amendment), ‘Employee benefits’. The amendment clarifies that, when determining the discount rate for post-employment benefit obligations, it is the currency that the liabilities are denominated in that is important, not the country where they arise. The assessment of whether there is a deep market in high-quality corporate bonds is based on corporate bonds in that currency, not corporate bonds in a particular country. Similarly, where there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bonds in the relevant currency should be used. The amendment is retrospective but limited to the beginning of

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

126 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

the earliest period presented. The Group’s accounting treatment is already in line with this amendment.

- IAS 27 ‘Separate financial statements’. This amendment restores the option to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in an entity’s separate financial statements. The Group’s current accounting treatment is already in line with this amendment.

- IAS 34 ’Interim financial reporting’. This amendment clarifies what is meant by the reference in the standard to ‘information disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report’. The amendment also amends IAS 34 to require a cross-reference from the interim financial statements to the location of that information. The amendment is retrospective. This amendment will not have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

The other new standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2016 are considered not to be relevant or to have any significant effect on the Group’s financial reporting and operations.

b) Standards,amendmentstopublishedstandardsandinterpretationsthatarenotyeteffectiveand have not been early adopted by the group

The following new amendments to published standards are not effective for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2016 and have not been early adopted by the Group: - IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ (effective for periods beginning on or

after January 1, 2018). This standard is yet to be notified by SECP. This standard deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and IAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The Group is yet to assess the full impact of the standard.

- IFRS 9 ‘Financial instruments’ (effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018). This standard is yet to be notified by SECP. This standard replaces the guidance in IAS 39. It includes requirements on the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities; it also includes an expected credit losses model that replaces the current incurred loss impairment model. It is unlikely that the standard will have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

- IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019). This standard is yet to be notified by SECP. This standard replaces the current guidance in IAS 17 and is a far reaching change in accounting by lessees in particular. Under IAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on balance sheet) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). IFRS 16 now requires lessees to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. The IASB has included an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets;

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 127

however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. For lessors, the accounting stays almost the same. However, as the IASB has updated the guidance on the definition of a lease (as well as the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts), lessors will also be affected by the new standard. At the very least, the new accounting model for lessees is expected to impact negotiations between lessors and lessees. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group is yet to assess the full impact of the standard.

- Amendments to IAS 12 ‘Income taxes’ on Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized

losses (effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017). These amendments on the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses clarify how to account for deferred tax assets related to debt instruments measured at fair value. It is unlikely that the standard will have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

- “IAS 7 ‘Cash flow statements: Disclosure initiative’ (effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017). This amendment requires disclosure to explain changes in liabilities for which cash flows have been, or will be classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flows. The amendment only covers balance sheet items for which cash flows are classified as financing activities. In case other items are included within the reconciliation, the changes in liabilities arising from financing activities will be identified separately. Reconciliation of the opening to closing balance is not specifically required but instead the information can be provided in other ways. In the first year of adoption, comparative information need not be provided. It is unlikely that this standard will have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

There are number of other standards, amendments and interpretations to the published standards

that are not yet effective and are also not relevant to the Group and therefore, have not been presented here.

3.1.5 Basis of consolidation i) subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and

operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Further, the Group also considers whether:

- it has power to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiaries;

- is exposed to variable returns from the subsidiaries; and - decision making power allows the Group to affects its variable returns from the subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-recognised from the date the control ceases. These consolidated financial statements include Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited and all companies in which it directly or indirectly controls, beneficially owns or holds more than 50% of the voting securities or otherwise has power to elect and appoint more than 50% of its directors (the Subsidiaries).

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

128 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in consolidated profit and loss account.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised in profit and loss account.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses (unrealized) are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

ii) transactions and non-controlling interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

iii) disposal of subsidiaries

When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit and loss account. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed off the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to consolidated profit and loss account.

3.2 exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets in respect of area of interest includes license fee, detailed feasibility

study and all other related studies to ensure bankability of the project including ancillary (operating and administrative) cost related thereto.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 129

The aforementioned expenditure supporting the technical feasibility and economic / commercial viability, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets, where: - such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the

area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or

- exploration and / or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence, or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area are continuing.

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is recorded at cost less impairment charges. As asset is not available for use, it is not depreciated, however, an estimate of recoverable amount of assets is made for possible impairment on an annual basis.

Cash flows associated with exploration and evaluation expenditure are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

3.3 development properties

Development expenditure represents expenditure incurred in area in which economically recoverable resources have been identified. Such expenditure comprises costs directly attributable to the construction of a mine and related infrastructure.

Once a development decision has been taken the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is transferred to development expenditure and classified under non-current assets as ‘development properties’.

Capitalised development properties expenditure is recorded at cost less impairment, if any. As asset is not available for use, it is not depreciated; however, an estimate of recoverable amount of assets is made for possible impairment on an annual basis.

Cash flows associated with development properties are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

3.4 Property, plant and equipment

3.4.1 owned assets

These are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any, except free-hold land and capital work in progress which are stated at cost. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items including borrowing costs. The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

Where major components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

130 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account during the financial period in which they are incurred.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date for indications that an asset may be impaired and carrying values may not be recovered. If any such indication exists and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the asset or cash generating unit is written down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less cost to sell and value in use.

Useful lives are determined by the management based on the expected usage of assets, physical wear and tear, technical and commercial obsolescence, legal and similar limits on the use of the assets and other similar factors.

Maintenance and normal repairs are charged to profit and loss account as and when incurred. Major renewals and improvements, if any, are capitalised in accordance with IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and depreciated in a manner that best represents the consumption pattern and useful lives.

Depreciation is charged to consolidated profit and loss account using the straight line method, except for catalyst whose depreciation is charged on the basis of number of production days, whereby the cost of an operating asset less its estimated residual value is written off over its estimated useful life. Depreciation on addition is charged from the month following the month in which the asset is available for use and on disposals upto the preceding month of disposal.

Disposal of asset is recognised when significant risk and rewards incidental to ownership have been transferred to buyers. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within ‘Other operating expenses / income’ in the consolidated profit and loss account.

The Group reviews appropriateness of the rate of depreciation, useful life and residual value used in the calculation of depreciation.

3.4.2 leased assets

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance lease. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and present value of minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to similar owned asset. Outstanding obligations under the lease less finance cost allocated to future periods are shown as a liability.

Finance cost under lease agreements are allocated to the periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of finance cost on the remaining balance of principal liability for each period.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 131

Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Operating lease / Ijarah arrangements in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases / Ijarah arrangements. Rentals due under operating lease / Ijarah arrangements are recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account. Any initial direct costs incurred for the lease are amortised over the term of the lease.

3.4.3 dredging expenditure

Dredging expenditure is categorised into capital dredging and major maintenance dredging. Capital dredging is expenditure, which creates new harbour and deepens or extends the basin in front of jetty in order to allow access to larger ships. This expenditure is capitalised and is being depreciated over a period of 15 years.

Major maintenance dredging is expenditure incurred to restore the depth to its previous condition. The management estimates that maintenance dredging has an average service potential of 5 years. Maintenance dredging is regarded as a separate component and is capitalised and depreciated over a period of 5 years on straight line basis.

3.5 Capital spares

Spare parts and servicing equipment are classified as property, plant and equipment rather than stores, spares and loose tools when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment. Upon utilisation, the capital spares and servicing equipment are depreciated over their useful life, or the remaining life of principal asset, whichever is lower.

3.6 Biological assets

Livestock are measured at their fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs. Fair value of livestock is determined by an independent valuer on the basis of best available estimate for livestock of similar attributes. Milk is initially measured at its fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs at the time of milking. The fair value of milk is determined based on market prices in the local area.

Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs of livestock and milk are recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account.

Crops in the ground and at the point of harvest at reporting date are measured at cost being an approximation of fair value, as these are presently being used as internal consumption for cattle feed and have a very short biological transformation and consumption cycle.

3.7 intangible assets

Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits will

flow to the Group and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. Cost of the intangible assets includes purchase cost and directly attributable expenses incidental to make the asset available for use in the manner as intended by management.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

132 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

a) goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the consideration paid for acquiring interests in a company and the value of the Group’s share of its net assets at the date of acquisition.

b) Brands

These are stated at cost less impairment, if any. Carrying amounts of these intangibles are subject to impairment review at each reporting date and where conditions exist, impairment is recognised.

The useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment for the asset.

c) Computer software and licenses

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense when incurred. However, costs that are directly attributable to identifiable software and have probable economic benefits exceeding the cost beyond one year, are recognised as an intangible asset. Direct costs include the purchase cost of software (license fee), related overhead cost and directly attributable expenses incidental to make the asset available for use in the manner as intended by management..

Expenditure which enhances or extends the performance of computer software beyond its original specification and useful life is recognised as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the software.

Computer Softwares are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, It is charged over the estimated useful life of the asset on a systematic basis by applying the straight line method.

Useful life of intangible assets is reviewed, at each reporting date and adjusted if the impact of amortisation is significant.

d) rights for future gas utilisation

Rights for future gas utilisation represents premium paid to the Government of Pakistan for allocation of 100 MMCFD natural gas for a period of 20 years for EFert’s Enven Plant Network. The rights are being amortized from the date of commercial production on a straight-line basis over the remaining allocation period.

3.8 Impairmentofnon-financialassets

“Assets that are subject to depreciation / amortisation are reviewed at each reporting date to identify circumstances indicating occurrence of impairment loss or reversal of previous impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sale and value in use. Reversal of impairment loss is restricted to the original cost of the asset.

Goodwill is measured as described in note 3.7. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 133

accumulated impairment losses. Assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

3.9 investments in Joint ventures

The Group’s interest in jointly controlled entity is accounted for in the financial statements using the equity method.

3.10 Investmentsinassociates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investment in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investors share of profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group’s investment in associate includes goodwill identified on acquisition. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the impairment loss as the difference between the recoverable amount of associates and its carrying value and recognises it in the profit and loss account.

3.11 other investments

Other investments are carried at cost. At subsequent reporting dates, the recoverable amounts are estimated to determine the extent of impairment losses, if any, and carrying amounts are adjusted accordingly.

3.12 non current assets (or disposal groups) held-for-sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in consolidated profit and loss account.

3.13 financial instruments

3.13.1 financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. a) Atfairvaluethroughprofitorloss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

134 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months, otherwise, these are classified as non-current.

b) loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables with maturity period of less than twelve months after the reporting date are classified as advances, deposits and prepayments and other receivables in the balance sheet.

c) held to maturity

Held to maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity with a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

d) Available-for-salefinancialassets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose it off within 12 months of the end of the reporting date.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date - the date on which

the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated profit and loss account. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Held to maturity and loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in the consolidated profit and loss account within ‘other operating income / expenses’ in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the profit and loss account as part of other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in consolidated statement of comprehensive income are included in the consolidated profit and loss account.

Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognised

in the consolidated profit and loss account as part of other income. Dividends on available for

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 135

sale equity instruments are recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account as part of other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss is removed from equity and recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account. Impairment losses recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated profit and loss account. Impairment testing of trade debts and other receivables is described in (note 3.17).

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

3.13.2 financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised at the time when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transactions costs, if any, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate method.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in respective carrying amounts is recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account.

3.13.3 Offsettingoffinancialassetsandliabilities

A financial asset and a financial liability are off set and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counter party.

3.14 Derivativefinancialinstrumentsandhedgingactivities

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into; attributable transaction cost are recognised in consolidated profit and loss account when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair values, and changes therein are accounted for as described below:

a) fair value hedges Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are

recorded in the consolidated profit and loss account, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

136 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

b) Cashflowhedges

Changes in fair value of derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in consolidated profit and loss account.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity remains there until the forecast transaction occurs. When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in equity is transferred to the carrying amount of the asset when it is recognised. In other cases the amount recognised in equity is transferred to consolidated profit and loss account in the same period that the hedge item affects consolidated profit and loss account.

c) other non-trading derivatives

When a derivative financial instrument is not held for trading, and is not designated in a qualifying hedge relationship, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in consolidated profit and loss account.

d) embedded derivatives

Fair value of derivatives embedded in financial instruments or non-derivative host contracts are separated from the host contract if the risks and economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

If the fair value of an embedded derivative that is required to be separated cannot be reliably measured, the entire combined contract is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposure.

3.15 stores, spares and loose tools

These are valued at weighted average cost except for items in transit which are stated at invoice value plus other charges paid thereon till the consolidated reporting date. For items which are slow moving and / or identified as surplus to the Group’s requirements, adequate provision is made for any excess book value over estimated realizable value. The Group reviews the carrying amount of stores and spares on a regular basis and provision is made for obsolescence, if any.

3.16 stock-in-trade

These are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted average method except for raw material and certain purchased products in transit which are stated at cost (invoice value) plus other charges incurred thereon till the consolidated reporting date. Cost in relation to finished goods includes applicable purchase cost and manufacturing expenses. The cost of work in process includes material and proportionate conversion costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 137

Net realizable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessarily to be incurred in order to make the sales.

3.17 trade debts and other receivables

These are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, if any and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate method less provision for impairment, if any. A provision for impairment is established if there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of provision is charged to consolidated profit and loss account. Trade debts and other receivables considered irrecoverable are written-off.

Exchange gains and losses arising on translation in respect of trade debts and other receivables in foreign currency are added to the carrying amount of the respective receivables.

3.18 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows includes cash in hand and in transit, cheques in hand, balances with banks on current, deposit and saving account, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and short term borrowings (other than term finance) including running finance and short term finance facilities availed by the Group, which are payable on demand and form an integral part of the Groups’s cash management.

3.19 share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity and recognised at their face value. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

3.20 Employees’shareoptionscheme

The grant date fair value of equity settled share based payment to employees is initially recognised in the consolidated balance sheet as deferred employee compensation expense with a consequent credit to equity as employee share option compensation reserve.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is recognised as an employee compensation expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

When an unvested option lapses by virtue of an employee not conforming to the vesting conditions after recognition of an employee compensation expense in the consolidated profit and loss account, such employee compensation expense is reversed in the consolidated profit and loss account equal to the amortized portion with a corresponding effect to employee share option compensation reserve in the consolidated balance sheet.

When a vested option lapses on expiry of the exercise period, employee compensation expense already recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account is reversed with a corresponding reduction to employee share option compensation reserve in the consolidated balance sheet.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

138 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

When options are exercised, employee share option compensation reserve relating to these options is transferred to share capital and share premium account. An amount equivalent to the face value of related shares is transferred to share capital. Any amount over and above the share capital is transferred to share premium account.

3.21 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Exchange gains and losses arising in respect of borrowings in foreign currency are added to the carrying amount of the borrowing.

3.22 trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

These are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liability.

Exchange gains and losses arising in respect of liabilities in foreign currency are added to the carrying amount of the respective liabilities.

3.23 operating lease

Lease arrangements in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease arrangements. Rentals due under operating lease arrangements are recognised in the profit and loss account.

3.24 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect current best estimate.

3.25 dividend

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which dividend is approved by the shareholders in case of final dividend, and in case of interim dividend on the date of commencement of the book closure period.

3.26 income tax

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In which case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

3.26.1 Current tax

Provision for current taxation is based on the taxable income for the year calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

3.26.2 deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

3.27.1 Definedcontributionplans

A defined contribution plan is a post - employment benefit plan under which a Group pays fixed contribution into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the consolidated profit and loss account when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

both by the Group and employees to the fund at the rate of 10% to 15% of basic salary;

- defined contribution pension funds for the benefit of management employees. Monthly contributions are made by the Group to the fund at the rate ranging from 12.5% to 13.75% of basic salary; and

3.27.2 Definedbenefitplans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than the defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the Projected Unit Credit method.

Remeasurements (actuarial gains / losses) in respect of defined benefit plan are recognised directly in equity through other comprehensive income.

Contributions require assumptions to be made of future outcomes which mainly includes increase in remuneration, expected long-term return on plan assets and the discount rate used to convert future cash flows to current values. Calculations are sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions.

The Group operates defined benefit funded gratuity schemes for its management employees and non-management employees of EFert.

The Group also operates defined benefit funded pension scheme for EFert’s management employees; the pension scheme provides life time pension to retired employees or to their spouses. Contributions are made annually to these funds on the basis of actuarial recommendations. The pension scheme has been curtailed and effective from July 1, 2005, no new members are inducted in this scheme. Actuarial gains on curtailment are recognised immediately once the certainty of recovery is established.

Annual provision is also made under a service incentive plan for certain category of experienced employees to continue in the Group’s employment.

3.27.3 Employees’compensatedabsences

The Group accounts for compensated absences on the basis of unavailed leave balance of each employee at the end of the year.

3.27.4 Otherbenefits-ServiceIncentivePlan

Provision is made under a service incentive plan for certain category of experienced employees to continue in the Group’s employment. The provision is made on the basis of management’s estimates of incentives to be paid to employees on fulfillment of criteria given in the incentive plan.

3.28 foreign currency transactions and translation

3.28.1 These consolidated financial statements are presented in Pakistan Rupees, which is the Group’s functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account.

3.28.2 The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-

inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: - assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date

of that balance sheet;

- income and expenses for each consolidated profit and loss account item are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

- all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

3.29 Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when: - there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed

only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or

- there is a present obligation that arises from past events but it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured reliably.

3.30 Revenuerecognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised on the following basis: - Sales revenue is recognised when products are dispatched to customers or services are

rendered.

- Income on deposits and other financial assets is recognised on accrual basis

- Commission income is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.

- Interest income on delayed payment income on overdue trade receivables is recognised on accrual basis.

- service revenue is recognised on the basis of delivery of services.

- Revenue from construction activities, if the outcome of such activity can be reliably measured, is recognised by reference to stage of completion of the activity at year end (the percentage completion method). In applying the percentage completion method, revenue recognised corresponds to the total contract revenue multiplied by the actual completion rate based on the proportion of total contract costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete.

4. signifiCant aCCounting estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of carrying material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows: a) Property, plant and equipment and intangibles

The Group reviews appropriateness of the rate of depreciation / amortisation, useful life, residual

value used in the calculation of depreciation/amortization. Further where applicable, an estimate of recoverable amount of assets is made for possible impairment on an annual basis.

b) Investmentsatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss

The Group determines fair value of certain investments by using quotations from active market and conditions and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve some uncertainties and matters of judgment.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

144 Dawood Hercules Corporation Limited

c) derivatives

The Group reviews the changes in fair values of the derivative hedging financial instruments at each reporting date based on the valuations received from the contracting banks. These valuations represent estimated fluctuations in the relevant currencies / interest rates over the reporting period and other relevant variables signifying currency and interest rate risks.

d) stock-in-trade

The Group reviews the net realizable value of stock-in-trade to assess any diminution in the respective carrying values. Net realizable value is determined with reference to estimated selling price less estimated expenditures to make the sales.

e) impairment of goodwill

The Group reviews the recoverable amount of cash generating units for testing of impairment of goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

f) income taxes

In making the estimates for current income taxes payable by the Group, the management considers the applicable laws and the decisions / judgments of appellate authorities on certain issues in the past. Accordingly, the recognition of deferred tax is also made taking into account these judgments and the best estimates of future results of operations of the Group.

g) Provisionforretirementandotherservicebenefitsobligations

The present value of these obligations depend on a number of factors that are determined on actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of these obligations.

h) Impairmentoffinancialassets

In making an estimate of future cash flows from the Group’s financial assets including investment in joint ventures and associates, the management considers future dividend stream and an estimate of the terminal value of these investments. In making an estimate of impairment, investments are considered to be impaired if there is a significant or prolonged decline in the recoverable amount and carrying value of investments.

i) Construction revenue and cost

Construction revenue is recognised using the percentage completion method. This is determined with reference to the stage of completion of project which is based on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete the project.

j) Provisions Provisions are based on management’s best estimates. Any change in the estimates in future years

might effect the carrying amounts of the provisions with a corresponding affect on the profit and loss account of the Group.

k) Contingencies and commitments

The Group uses assumptions and estimates in disclosure and assessment of provision for contingencies as disclosed in note 28.

l) fair value of investment in associates

Certain estimates have been used to determine the fair value of investment in associate (previously subsidiary) upon loss of control, as disclosed in note 8.6.

m) Consolidation of entities in which the Company holds less than half of the voting rights

Management considers that the Company has control over ECL even though it has less than 50% of the voting rights. The pattern of shareholding of ECL shows that the Company is the single largest shareholder having shareholding of 37.22% with remaining widely dispersed shareholding pattern, which enables the Company to exercise control over ECL.

5.1.1 Represents exchange gain netted amounting to Rs 2,566 (2015: exchange loss capitalized amounting to Rs 364,019) pertaining to Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited.

2016 2015----------- Rupees -----------

5.2 Depreciation charge for the year has been allocated as follows:

Cost of goods sold (note 30.1) 8,330,442 8,757,422 Cost of services rendered (note 30.2) 533,561 417,336 Selling and distribution expenses (note 31) 247,531 236,526 Administrative expenses (note 32) 119,218 137,941

9,230,752 9,549,225 5.2.1 During the year, EPCL re-assessed useful lives of its plant and machinery. For this purpose, EPCL

engaged an independent expert / valuer and, based on the assessment carried out by the expert, has increased the useful lives of relevant assets by 5 to 31 years. Based on the report of the expert the useful lives of the relevant assets have been increased with effect from January 1, 2016. This change in the accounting estimate of useful lives has been accounted for prospectively in accordance with the requirements of IAS 8 - 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', which has resulted in reduction in depreciation charge for the year by Rs. 443,612 and increase in carrying value of property, plant and equipment by the same amount.

Had there been no change in the accounting estimate of useful lives of plant and machinery, the profit after tax for the current year would have been lower by Rs. 297,472.

2016 2015----------- Rupees -----------

5.3 Impairment loss for the year has been allocated as follows:

Operating assets (note 5.1) 106,388 3,380,503 Stores, spares and loose tools (note 11) - 73,681

106,388 3,454,184 5.3.1 Last year, the management taking cognizance of the significant losses suffered by EEAPL, as an

indicator of impairment, had conducted an impairment test of its Rice processing plant. The recoverable amount so determined was less than the carrying value of the plant & machinery, thereby resulting in an impairment loss of Rs. 3,384,030 which was recognized in the profit and loss account for the year ended December 31, 2015.As at December 31, 2016, the management re-assessed the recoverable amount of the rice processing plant, using revised corporate plan of EEAPL. Based on the re-assessment, no further impairment or reversal of impairment is required as at December 31, 2016.

The recoverable amount of Rs. 986,923 as at December 31, 2016 (including property, plant & equipment and stores and spares) was determined on the basis of value in use, discounted using a pre-tax risk adjusted weighted average cost of capital of 11.48%. In this assessment key assumptions relating to plant recovery rates, primary margins, fixed and conversion costs etc. had been based on past performance of EEAPL while paddy purchase price and selling price of rice including brands were estimated on management's expectation of market development. Further, volume of paddy procurement and utilisation plant capacity was based on management’s approved Corporate Plan.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 149

5.3.2 During the year, EFoods based on a review for impairment on the operating assets identified that the carrying values of certain operating assets in Dairy and Beverages segment exceed their estimated recoverable amounts. These assets were deemed as idle primarily due to discontinuation of certain SKUs to rationalise product portfolio of EFoods. The recoverable amount of these assets amounted to Rs. 79,045, determined on the basis of fair value less cost of disposal of underlying assets which is based on the historical experience of net recovery proceeds on similar nature of assets. The valuation is considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs used in the valuation. Accordingly, provision for impairment amounting to Rs. 106,388 was recognised in this respect.

7.1 Amortization charge for the year has been allocated as follows:

Cost of goods sold (note 30.1) 22,838 27,138 Selling and distribution expenses (note 31) 5,341 960 Administrative expenses (note 32) 47,476 71,585

75,655 99,683

7.2 This includes goodwill (which pertains to fertilizers business) arisen upon acquisition of control of ECL mainly on account of expected synergies, efficient business management, high standards of policies, compliances with relevant regulatory framework and integrity, experience and other strength of the work force and management. Accordingly, the goodwill recognized represents the excess of the fair value of the previously held equity interest over the proportionate share acquired in identifiable net assets at the date when the control as per IFRS 10 has been deemed to commence in 2005.

7.3 For impairment testing, the recoverable amount of the proportionate share in the said business has been determined based on fair value less cost of disposal. The management has used the Market Approach to determine the fair value less cost of disposal.

The valuation indicates sufficient headroom and it is unlikely that impairment of the related goodwill has occurred.

The Group has entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements to hedge its interest rate exposure on floating rate committed borrowings for notional amounts of USD 2,666 (2015: USD 15,727). Under these contracts the Group receives USD-LIBOR and pays fixed 2.79% - 3.73% settled semi-annually. As at December 31, 2016, the fair value of all the interest rate swaps is negative Rs 2,107 (2015: negative Rs 30,548).

14.3 embedded derivatives

Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited’s (EPQL) tariff like other power companies, comprises of various price components with indexations falling within the ambit of embedded derivatives. Such embedded derivative as per International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39, ‘Financial Instrument: Recognition and Measurement’ are required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as derivative if economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the host contract.

EPQL had sought clarification from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) in respect of the indexations pertaining to (i) USD/PKR exchange rate (applicable to EPQL’s price components of debt, return on equity, return on equity during construction); and (ii) US CPI & USD/PKR exchange rate (applicable to EPQL’s price components of fixed and variable operations and maintenance – foreign) whether these derivatives were closely or not closely related to the host contract.

In addition, EPQL had also requested ICAP to prescribe a definite basis or guidelines for the valuation of such embedded derivatives considering the subjectivity involved therein if these were considered to be not closely related to the host contract. Further, as indexation of USD/PKR exchange rate related to debt component being not recognized separately as embedded derivative, EPQL taking cognizance of the ‘matching principle’ requested the SECP to allow deferment of recognizing exchange loss on translation of borrowings under IAS 21 - Foreign Currency Transactions in the profit or loss till the clarification sought on the recognition of the foreign currency indexations from ICAP had been received.

On January 16, 2012, SECP vide SRO 24 (I) 2012 had granted waivers to all IPPs from the requirement of IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease” and IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Agreements”. Further, SECP through the aforementioned SRO has also allowed the IPPs to continue capitalizing the exchange differences, and not to recognize embedded derivatives under IAS 39 where these are not closely related to the host contract. However, in the case of such derivatives, for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, the companies are required to give “Additional Disclosure” as if the accounting for embedded derivatives had been adopted in preparing the financial statements.

In view of the above SRO, EPQL has capitalized exchange loss aggregating to Rs 2,524,087 (2015: Rs 2,526,653) as at December 31, 2016, which is net off exchange gain of Rs 2,566 pertaining to current year (2015: exchange loss of Rs 364,019) in property, plant and equipment (note 5.1).

14.3.1 AdditionaldisclosureunderSRO24(1)2012

If EPQL were to follow IAS 39 and had accounted for embedded derivatives and had not capitalized the exchange loss on translation of foreign currency borrowing, the effect on the consolidated financial statements line items would be as follows:

16.2 During the year 2007, Special Excise Duty (SED) amounting to Rs. 91,616 was paid on import of certain fixed assets by EPCL. Out of the total SED paid, an amount of Rs. 54,299 was adjusted through input claim in sales tax returns. Subsequently, the remaining amount of Rs. 36,687 could not be adjusted as the said duty was disallowed as adjustment from output tax under section 7 of Sales Tax Act, 1990. Therefore, full provision has been recognized thereagainst on the basis of prudence. However, EPCL is pursuing the recovery of the remaining amount from the tax authorities based on the view that the SED can be recovered as it was paid prior to the change in the Sales Tax Act.

16.3 The Customs Appellate Tribunal, Karachi Bench, through its order dated October 31, 2011, disposed off appeal of Engro Polymer and Chemicals Limited (EPCL) filed on April 11, 2008 against the order of Collector of Customs, Port Muhammad Bin Qasim, Karachi, for the refund of custom duty paid during the period June 16, 2006 to July 24, 2006 on imports of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM). The Tribunal was informed that all aforementioned VCM consignments were released after the issuance of SRO 565(1)/2006 dated June 6, 2006 and the benefit of five percent duty reduction was also passed on to the customers. However, as the price of the EPCL’s product was increased which is linked with international market, the Tribunal inadvertently presumed that the said benefit had not been transferred to the customers and passed an order against EPCL. EPCL has filed an appeal with the High Court of Sindh against the aforesaid order of the Tribunal. However, based on prudence, EPCL is maintaining full provision against the aforementioned custom duty refundable till such time that all available legal courses are exhausted.

21. MAINTENANCE RESERVE

In accordance with the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Engro Powergen Qadirpur Limited (EPQL) is required to establish and maintain a separate reserve fund (the Fund) with a depository institution for payment of major maintenance expenses. Any interest income resulting from the depository arrangements of the Fund is to remain in the Fund to the extent of any shortfall from the contractual limit.

Under the PPA, 1/24th of the annual operating and maintenance budget of the Power Plant less fuel expenses is required to be deposited into the Fund on each capacity payment date until such reserve equals to nine such deposits. After the second agreement year and thereafter the Fund may be re-established at such other level that EPQL and NTDC mutually agree.

In 2012, EPQL due to uncertain cash flows resulting from delayed payments by NTDC has, as per flexibility available under the PPA, reduced the amount deposited in a schedule bank to Rs. 50,000, which has been invested in investment certificates as at December 31, 2016 (note 17). Till such time the amount is deposited again to the required level, EPQL has unutilized short term financing available to meet any unexpected maintenance requirements that may arise in the foreseeable future.

25.3 Engro Elengy Terminal (Private) Limited (EETPL)

In 2015, EETPL, a wholly owned subsidary of Elengy Terminal Pakistan Limited (EPTL), received a notice from Model Customs Collectorate (the ‘Customs Authorities’) seeking information on import of FSRU and contending that the import attracts all leviable duties and taxes i.e. customs duty and advance income tax. EETPL was of the view that the FSRU had been classified as plant, machinery and equipment vide SRO 337(I)/2015 dated April 22, 2015 and accordingly, along with sales tax, custom duty is also exempt under SRO 678(I)/2004 dated August 7, 2004, read with condition (vii) relating to

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 179

the clause 2(a), being of the nature of import-cum-export or temporary import of plant, machinery and equipment. Further, since the EETPL’s profits and gains are exempt from income tax for 5 years from the date of commercial operations, EETPL is also entitled to exemption from collection of advance income tax. The Customs Authorities were not in agreement with EETPL’s views on the same and to treat import of FSRU for 15 years as a temporary import. The Company in response filed a suit with the High Court of Sindh (the ‘Court’) which through its order dated June 29, 2015 had restrained Customs Authorities from collection of customs duty and advance income tax. However, EETPL, based on the merits of the case and opinion of its legal advisor had provided for the potential exposure relating to customs duty amounting to Rs. 1,297,737, being 5% of the value of FSRU. The Court, in a judgement passed during the year, held EETPL liable to custom duty and remanded the matter related to advance tax to Customs Authorities with directions. EETPL in response to the aforementioned judgement and demand raised by Customs Authorities has paid an amount of Rs. 1,325,103 in respect of custom duty.

25.4 During the year, the Supreme Court of Pakistan issued a judgment dated November 11, 2016, as a result of which changes made through the Finance Acts of 2006 and 2008 in the Workers’ Welfare Ordinance, 1971 have been held to be ultra-vires to the Constiution. However, the taxation authorities have proceeded to file a review petition thereagainst in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.Due to review and other legal uncertainities, the Group continues to carry payable in respect of those entities which did not attract the levy prior to the changes brought by Finance Act 2006 and 2008.

During 2015, the Government of Sindh promulgated Sindh Workers Welfare Fund Act, 2014 (the Act) thereby repealing the Workers Welfare Ordinance, 1971 (the Ordinance) in its application to the province of Sindh. As per the Act, every industrial establishment located in province of Sindh whose total income for any year of account commencing on or after December 31, 2013, is not less than Rs. 500 is required to pay a sum equal to 2% of total income to the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB). However, the management based on advice of its tax consultant, is of the view that ECL does not classify as an “industrial establishment” as defined under clause 2(g) of the Act and accordingly is not liable for Workers’ welfare fund under the Act. Accordingly, no charge for current year and for the year 2015, under the Act, has been recognized in the financial statements.

28.7 EFert is contesting a penalty of Rs. 115,631 paid and expensed in 1997, imposed by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for alleged late payment of foreign exchange risk cover fee on long term loans and has filed a suit in the High Court of Sindh. A partial refund of Rs. 62,618 was, however, recovered in 1999 from SBP and the recovery of the balance amount is dependent on the Court’s decision.

28.8 EFert had commenced two separate arbitration proceedings against the Government of Pakistan for non-payment of marketing incidentals relating to the years 1983-84 and 1985-86 respectively. The sole arbitrator in the second case has awarded EFert Rs. 47,800 whereas the award for the earlier years is awaited. The award for the second arbitration was challenged in High Court of Sindh (the Court) and during the year the Court has upheld the award. However, as this can be challenged by way of further appeals, it will be recognized as income on realization thereof.

28.9 EFert had filed a constitutional petition in the High Court of Sindh, Karachi against the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resource (MPNR), Ministry of Industries and Production (MIP) and Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Company Limited (SNGPL) for continuous supply of 100 mmcfd gas per day to the Enven Plant and to prohibit from suspending, discontinuing or curtailing the aforesaid supply. The High Court of Sindh, in its order dated October 18, 2011, has ordered that SNGPL should supply 100 mmcfd of gas per day to EFert’s new plant. However, five petitions have been filed in the Supreme Court of Pakistan against the aforementioned order of High Court of Sindh by SNGPL, MPNR, Agritech Limited, Pak Arab Fertilizers and Kohinoor Mills Limited along with 21 other companies (mainly engaged in textile business). The aforementioned petitions are pending for further hearing. EFert’s management as confirmed by the legal advisor considers the chances of petitions being allowed to be remote.

Further, EFert upon continual curtailment of gas after the aforementioned decision of the High Court has filed an application in respect of Contempt of Court under Article 199 & 204 of the Constitution of Pakistan. EFert, in the aforementioned application has submitted that SNGPL and MPNR have failed to restore full supply of gas to EFert’s plant despite the judgment of High Court in EFert’s favour. A show cause notice has also been issued against MPNR and SNGPL dated December 31, 2011 by the High Court. The application is pending for hearing and no orders have yet been passed in this regard.

28.10 All Pakistan Textile Processing Mills Association (APTPMA), Shan Dying & Printing Industries (Private) Limited, Agritech Limited (Agritech) and 27 others have each contended, through separate proceedings filed before the Lahore High Court that the supply to EFert’s expansion plant is premised on the output of Qadirpur gas field exceeding 500 mmcfd by 100 mmcfd and the Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (GSA) dated April 11, 2007 with Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited (SNGPL) be declared void ab initio because the output of Qadirpur gas field has infact decreased. Agritech has additionally alleged discrimination in that it is receiving less gas than the other fertilizer companies on the SNGPL system. EFert has out rightly rejected these contentions, and is of the view that it has a strong case for the reasons that (i) 100 mmcfd gas has been allocated to EFert through a transparent international competitive bidding process held by the Government of Pakistan, and upon payment of valuable license fee; (ii) GSA guarantees uninterrupted supply of gas to the expansion plant, with right to first 100 mmcfd gas production from the Qadirpur gas field; and (iii) both EFert and gas field (Qadirpur), that is to initially supply gas to EFert, are located in Sindh. Also neither the gas allocation by the Government of Pakistan nor the GSA predicates the gas supply upon Qadirpur field producing 100 mmcfd over 500 mmcfd. No orders have been passed in this regard and the petition has also been adjourned sine die. However, EFert’s management, as confirmed by the legal advisor, considers chances of petitions being allowed to be remote.

28.11 EFert along with other fertilizer companies, received a show cause notice from the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) for initiating action under the Competition Act, 2010 in relation to unreasonable increase in fertilizer prices. EFert has responded in detail that factors resulting in such increase were mainly the imposition of infrastructure cess and sales tax and partially the gas curtailment. The CCP has issued an order in March 2013, whereby it has held that EFert enjoys a dominant position in the urea market and that it has abused this position by unreasonable increases of urea prices in the period from December 2010 to December 2011. The CCP has also held another fertilizer company to be responsible for abusing its dominant position. In addition, the CCP has imposed a penalty of Rs. 3,140,000 and Rs. 5,500,000 on EFert and that other fertilizer company respectively. An appeal has been filed in the Competition Appellate Tribunal (at present non-functional) and a writ has been filed in the Sindh High Court and stay has been granted against the recovery of the imposed fine. EFert’s management believes that the chances of ultimate success are very good, as confirmed by legal advisor. Hence, no provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements.

28.12 Bank guarantees have been provided to:

- SNGPL amounting to Rs. 2,496,126 (2015: Rs. 2,496,126) representing an amount equivalent to three months contractual quantities of gas in accordance with the terms of Gas Supply Agreement (GSA) between EPQL and the SNGPL;

28.14 On October 05, 2016 EPL, furnished a bank guarantee amounting to Rs. 767 to Punjab Power Development Board (PPDB) for obtaining letter of interest (LOI) for development of 7.1 MW D.G. Khan Link – III Canal, RD. 0+000 to RD. 14+000, located in District DG Khan. Engro has approached investors and will act as a Technical Partner and minority shareholder in lieu of Project Management and O&M.

28.15 The Sindh Finance Act, 1994, prescribed the imposition of an infrastructure fee at the rate of 0.5% of the C&F value of all goods entering or leaving the province of Sindh via sea or air. The Act thereafter was last amended through Sindh Finance Act, 2014 according to which infrastructure fee will range from 0.9% to 0.95% of total value of goods as assessed by the Custom Authorities (the Authorities) plus one paisa per kilometer against various slab of net weight of goods. In 2014, Engro Elengy Terminal Private Limited (EETPL) filed a petition against the aforementioned levy before the High Court of Sindh (the Court) where it is currently pending. Earlier, the Court through an interim order on petitions filed by other companies, directed companies to clear the goods on paying 50% of the amount of levy and furnishing bank guarantee / security for the balance amount.

EETPL estimates the amount of levy as at December 31, 2014 to be Rs. 8,774. In this respect, EETPL has paid 50% of the above levied cess and has provided bank guarantee amounting to Rs. 8,000 in favor of the Authorities to comply with interim orders of the Court. The bank guarantee shall continue and remain valid until the decision of the Court in the above mentioned case. However, based on the merits of the case and as per the opinion of its legal advisor, EETPL expects a favorable outcome on the matter and accordingly no provision has been made in this respect in these consolidated financial statements.

28.16 During the year, EETPL imported steel linepipes (the goods) for the LNG Project, on which the authorities allowed exemption from custom duty, however, refused to allow exemption from sales tax. EETPL filed a petition before the Court against levy of sales tax on the goods and to restrain the authorities from hindering clearance of the same. Under interim orders, the Court directed the authorities to release the goods subject to deposit of pay order with the Nazir of the Court amounting to Rs. 9,026, which has been duly deposited. The matter is currently pending for further hearing.

EETPL based on the merits of the case and as per the opinion of its legal advisor, expects a favorable outcome on the matter and accordingly no provision has been made in this respect in these consolidated financial statements.

28.17 EETPL during the year in connection with the import of FSRU received a demand from Customs Authority amounting to Rs. 1,530,494. The demand was raised on reassessment of the matter in connection with the judgement of the Court. EETPL in response to the above has filed an appeal based on which the Chief Commissioner Inland Revenue remanded the case back to the concerned commissioner. EETPL, based on the merits of the case and opinion of its tax consultant and legal advisor, considers the possibility of matter being decided against the EETPL to be remote.

28.18 The Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue (DCIR) through order dated January 8, 2016, raised a sales tax demand of Rs. 524,589 on account of alleged short payment of sales tax due on the finished products that would have been produced and sold from the excess wastage of raw material. EPCL filed thereagainst before the Commissioner Inland Revenue Appeals [CIR(A)] on the grounds that the order passed against EPCL was absolutely baseless as the DCIR had used inappropriate theoretical assumptions for calculating the sales tax liability. The CIR(A) through his order dated March 10, 2016, has decided the matter in favor of EPCL. However, the department has challenged the said order of CIR(A) before Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR). No proceedings regarding this matter has been carried out by ATIR, till the year end. The management of EPCL, based on the advice of its tax consultant, is confident of favourable outcome of this matter, accordingly, no provision has been made in this respect.

In 2013, the income tax department, in respect of the tax year 2011, determined additional income tax liability of Rs. 218,790 and raised a demand of Rs. 139,575 whereby the Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue (DCIR) - Audit disallowed allocation of expenses against interest income and apportioned expenses against dividend income and capital gains. ECL filed an appeal with the Commissioner Inland Revenue (CIR) - Appeals who maintained the apportionment of expenses against dividend income and capital gains but allowed the allocation of administrative expenses against interest income, thereby reducing the income tax liability to Rs. 184,191 and revised the demand to Rs. 104,976. ECL paid Rs. 53,250 thereagainst and simultaneously filed an appeal against the CIR - Appeals decision with Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) which granted a stay to ECL. During 2014, the ATIR issued an order whereby the aforementioned appeal was remanded back to the assessing officers for denovo proceedings, thereby accepting the ECL’s contention. The income tax department, in response thereagainst, had filed an appeal with ATIR, which was pending for hearing. Subsequent to the year end, the ATIR has also dismissed the appeal of the CIR.

The gratuity and pension funds are governed under the Trusts Act, 1882, Trust Deed and Rules of Fund, Companies Ordinance, 1984, the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and the Income Tax Rules, 2002.

Responsibility for governance of plan, including investment decisions and contribution schedule lie with Board of Trustees of the Fund.

The Group faces the following risks on account of defined benefit plans:

Final salary risk - The risk that the final salary at the time of cessation of service is greater than what the Company has assumed. Since the benefit is calculated on the final salary, the benefit amount would also increase proportionately.

Asset volatility - Most assets are invested in risk free investments of 3, 5 or 10 year SSC’s, RIC’s, DSC’s or Government Bonds. However, investments in equity instruments is subject to adverse fluctuations as a result of change in the market price.

Discount rate fluctuation - The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yields. A decrease in corporate bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the current plans’ bond holdings.Investment risks - The risk of the investment underperforming and not being sufficient to meet the liabilities. This risk is mitigated by closely monitoring the performance of investment. Risk of insufficiency of assets - This is managed by making regular contribution to the Fund as advised by the actuary.In addition to above, the pension fund exposes the Group to Longevity Risk i.e. the pensioners survive longer than expected.

44. finanCial risK management

44.1 financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on having cost efficient funding as well as to manage financial risk to minimize earnings volatility and provide maximum return to shareholders.

Risk management is carried out by the Group’s Finance and Planning departments under policies approved by the Senior Management.

a) market risk

i) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

This exists due to the Group’s exposure resulting from outstanding import payments, foreign commercial transactions, foreign currency loan liabilities and related interest payments. A foreign exchange risk management policy has been developed and approved by the management. The policy allows the Group to take currency exposure for limited periods within predefined limits while open exposures are rigorously monitored. The Group ensures to the extent possible that it has options available to manage exposure, either through forward contracts, options or prepayments, etc. subject to the prevailing foreign exchange regulations.

Engro Corportion Limited has given guarantees in favor of its subsidiary companies amounting to USD 133,542 (2015: USD 130,947). The devaluation / revaluation of currency will only impact contingent liabilities and the impact on consolidated post tax profit for the year is Nil.

At December 31, 2016, if the Pakistani Rupee had weakened / strengthened by 1% against the US Dollars with all other variables held constant, consolidated post tax profit for the year would have been lower / higher by Rs. 87,151, mainly as a result of foreign exchange losses / gains on translation of US Dollar denominated liabilities.

ii) interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from short and long-term borrowings and obligations under finance lease. These are benchmarked to variable rates which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.

The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a regular basis by monitoring interest rate trends to determine whether they should enter into hedging alternatives.

The Group manages its interest rate exposure through floating to fixed rate interest swaps on its foreign currency borrowings.

As at December 31, 2016, if interest rates on Group’s borrowings had been 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, consolidated post tax profit for the year would have been lower / higher by Rs 525,645, mainly as a result of interest exposure on variable rate borrowings.

For the year ended December 31, 2016

notes to the ConsolidatedfinanCial statements(Amounts in thousand)

Annual Report 2016 205

iii) other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors effecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.

As at December 31, 2016, the Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk represents the risk of financial loss being caused if counter party fails to discharge an obligation.

Credit risk arises from deposits with banks and financial institutions, trade debts, loans, advances, deposits, bank guarantees and other receivables. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with a reasonably high credit rating or mutual funds which in turn are deposited in banks and government securities. The Maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of financial assets. The Group maintains internal policies to place funds with commercial banks/mutual funds having a minimum short term credit rating of A1 and AM3. The Group accepts bank guarantees of banks of reasonably high credit ratings as approved by management.

The Group’s fertilizer segment is exposed to a concentration of credit risk on its trade debts by virtue of all its customers being agri-based businesses in Pakistan. However, this risk is mitigated by applying individual credit limits and by securing a majority of trade debts against bank guarantees inland letter of credits and by the fact that the exposure is spread over a wide customer base.

The Group’s power segment is not exposed to any credit risk on its trade debts as these are secured by sovereign guarantee from the Government of Pakistan.

The Group’s polymers segment is not materially exposed to credit risk on trade debts as unsecured credit is provided to selected parties with no default in recent history and a major part is secured by bank guarantees and letters of credit from customers or written terms of agreement.

The Group monitors the credit quality of its financial assets with reference to historical performance of such assets and available external credit ratings. The carrying values of financial assets which are neither past due nor impaired are as under:

c) liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to dynamic nature of the business, the Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining committed credit lines available.

The Group’s liquidity management involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

44.2 Capital risk management

The Group’s objective when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for share holders and benefit for other stake holders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or issue new shares.

The management seeks to maintain a balance between higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The regulatory regime in which the Group’s power segment operates, renders the value of the equity to a bond given the guaranteed IRR of 15% with an indexation allowed under the Power Purchase Agreement for changes in US $ / PKR exchange rate.

The Group’s strategy is to ensure compliance with the Prudential Regulations issued by the State Bank of Pakistan and is in accordance with agreements executed with financial institutions so that the total long term borrowings to equity ratio does not exceed the lender covenants. The total long term borrowings to equity ratio as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

49. waiver from aPPliCation of ifriC - 4 “determining whether an arrangement Contains a lease”

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) in pursuance of SRO 24 (1) / 2012 dated January 16, 2012 has granted waiver from the application of International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) - 4 “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” to all companies including power sector companies. However, the SECP made it mandatory to disclose the impacts on the results had IFRIC - 4 been applied.

If the Group were to apply IFRIC - 4, the agreement between EETPL and SSGCL for operating and provision of services, would have been classified as operating lease. However, the impact of such application over the assets, liabilities or the net profit of the Group for the year would have been immaterial.

53. seasonality

The Group’s fertilizer business is subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of two different farming seasons viz, Rabi (from October to March) and Kharif (from April to September). On an average fertilizer sales are more tilted towards Rabi season. The Group manages seasonality in the business through appropriate inventory management.

The Group’s agri business is subject to seasonal fluctuation as majority of paddy / unprocessed rice is procured during the last quarter of the year which is the harvesting period for all rice varieties grown in Pakistan. However, rice is sold evenly throughout the year. The Group manages seasonality in the business through appropriate inventory management.

54. loss of Certain aCCounting reCords

During 2007, a fire broke out at PNSC Building, Karachi where the Head Office and registered office of ECL was located. Immediately following this event ECL launched its Disaster Recovery Plan due to which operational disruption and financial impact resulting from this incident remained minimal.

The fire destroyed a substantial portion of its hard copy records related to the financial years 2005, 2006 and the period January 01, 2007 to August 19, 2007 although, electronic data remained intact due to ECL’s Disaster Recovery Plan. The ECL launched an initiative to recreate significant lost records and was successful in gathering the same in respect of the financial year 2007. Hard copy records related to the already reported financial years 2005 and 2006 have not been recreated.
